1. India Take on Pakistan in World T20 on Super Saturday
Jolted by the shock loss to New Zealand in the opening game, India will be fighting a survival battle quite early in the tournament when they take on arch foes Pakistan in what is being seen as the marquee clash of the ICC World Twenty20 at Kolkata on Saturday.
The hosts, who started as title-favourites, were in for a blow in the first match itself when New Zealand’s spinners bamboozled their famed batting line-up on a turning Nagpur track.

6. The Hunt For the Female Orgasm in Cinema: Why is it Hard to Find?
Sex in cinema is very rarely about the woman, and most commonly about the man. In most cases, sex – if consensual – culminates with either the man climaxing or the two gyrating in absurdly identical fashion, to climax together. How wonderfully realistic.
7. Delhiites May Not Be Able to Buy Two-Wheelers From April 1
